Calcot girl goes missing

A 13-year-old girl has been missing from her home in Calcot since Monday and police are appealing for help in tracing her.

Bethann Young, who is mixed race and around 5ft 4ins tall, was last seen at school in Tilehurst at 11.30am on Monday.

She has dark brown shoulder-length hair and brown eyes.

Bob Phillips, missing persons co-ordinator at Thames Valley Police, said: “Although Bethann has gone missing before, it is out of character for her not to have made contact with anyone she knows or for there to be no sightings of her.

“She is obviously vulnerable because of her age and I would ask anyone who sees her, or knows of her whereabouts, to contact police urgently.”
